Digging To China
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sometimes I dream about meeting Nelson Mandela for lunch
In Hershey Park, Pennsylvania and he's got a ninja sword
Some days I wish I could sing a song to William Shatner
While he does yo-yo tricks but we're in a bar on Alderaan
Sometimes I just want to walk out in to the forest
And find a Sasquatch with a bitchin' sculpted mustache like Wyatt Earp
Sometimes I dream I'm friends with Queen Elizabeth
And she wants to play Star Wars and say 'Zac you're my only hope'
It's not really important that I want to do these things or who with and why
Dying in my cubicle just searching for the light
I keep digging til I get to China
It may sound ludicrous but I'm in denial
Sometimes dreaming like a child is the only way to truly feel alive
Sometimes I dream I know Kevin Spacey
And we hang out in Barcelona eating hallucinogenic mushrooms
Some days I look through my telescope
And I see Albert Einstein eating tacos at a taco truck somewhere in Colorado
And then I wake up!
Some days I dream I'm talking to Johnny Depp
On the cell phone in Paris about my non existent movie career
Some days I dream I'm sheriff Rick Grimes
From the planet Neptune playing elephant polo with a pink elephant
It's not really important that I want to do these things or who with and why
Dying in my cubicle just searching for the light
I keep digging til I get to China
It may sound ludicrous but I'm in denial
Sometimes dreaming like a child is the only way to truly feel alive
Even when I'm waking
I'm still dreaming about Shanghai
When I have trouble sleeping
I just dig in the moon light
I keep digging til I get to China
It may sound ludicrous but I'm in denial
Sometimes dreaming like a child is the only way to truly feel alive
